http://www.alohamassageschool.com in Maui, Hawaii The Between the years 200 and 100 BCE, a physician discovered that massage therapy benefits would treat various types of sickness and help physical injuries to heal. From that point forward, many countries have used massage therapy as a form of healing. For a time, massage healing uses were ignored, but Europe showed interest off and on again from 1600 to 1800’s. A Swedish physician, Per Henrik Ling, who was later the developer of the Swedish Gymnastic Movement System, reinvented the medicinal qualities of massage in the early 1800’s. During this period, the techniques for massage changed to include techniques such as stroking, pressing, and squeezing.

Massage therapy benefits were discovered in the United States in the early days of the 20th century. The United States used many new massage techniques through the years, but used massage treatments as a medicinal treatment during World War I. The primary patients for massage treatments were soldiers who had sustained nerve injuries during the war, and many soldiers were treated for shock with massage treatments. The United States focuses on massage because of its natural healing properties and chooses to ignore the bad press massage has received due to it’s association with the sex trade. Many schools for massage therapy have been opened throughout the United States to teach those methods of healing.
